La fondazione del battistero si data al 1152, ma la sua costruzione ha avuto una durata di oltre due secoli. La prima fase di edificazione, fino alla sommit\u00e0 degli archi del primo ordine, fu diretta dall\u2019architetto Diotisalvi. Dagli inizi del XIII secolo fu invece Guidetto che si occup\u00f2 delle decorazioni delle porte e dei muri fino alla copertura della navata anulare. A partire dal 1260 Nicola Pisano intervenne sul perimetrale, portandolo fino all\u2019altezza degli archetti della galleria esterna. Fu invece Giovanni Pisano che aggiunse i sovrastanti timpani. Dopo una lunga interruzione i lavori ripresero nel pieno Trecento con il coronamento del matroneo e l\u2019edificazione della copertura.

The first stage of construction, up to the top of the first row of arches, was directed by the architect Diotisalvi. At the beginning of the 13th century Guidetto took over, and supervised the ornamentation of the doors and walls, up to the top of the circular aisle. After 1260, Nicola Pisano worked on the outside wall, up to the level of the archlets in the external gallery, but it was Giovanni Pisano who added the pediments above.

\nL\u2019edificio, a pianta circolare, presenta all\u2019esterno un primo ordine con una serie di arcate cieche a tutto sesto scandite da colonne addossate, entro le quali sono aperte monofore e quattro porte. Al di sopra \u00e8 un corridoio di colonne archivoltate con una ricca decorazione scultorea entro timpani. Le lacune in questo ciclo figurativo sono dovute al trasferimento delle statue nel vicino Museo dell\u2019Opera del Duomo<\/a>. Gli stessi archi recano sulle imposte protomi umane eseguite da Nicola Pisano e dalla sua bottega a partire dal 1265.
\nSopra l\u2019ultima fascia di paramento in marmo si innesta la cupola, scandita in basso da una teoria di edicole marmoree sormontate da una coppia di pennacchi e da un frontespizio triangolare. Sulla sommit\u00e0 \u00e8 posta una statua in rame dorato raffigurante S. Giovanni, eseguita nel 1395 da Turino di Sano da Siena.
\nIl portale rivolto verso la Cattedrale fu decorato intorno al 1203-1204 da scultori di cultura greco-bizantina; il ciclo \u00e8 introdotto da due colonne laterali decorate e girali vegetali.

\nThe construction adapted to to the proportions of the Cathedral, with which he preserved a perfect axiality: the largeness of the facade exactly corresponds to distance between its main portal and the west door.
\nThe Opera di San Giovanni<\/em> was instituted for supervising the new building yard and at first the citizens were asked to contribute with a one denaro<\/em> tax pe month, ensuring a good start out of the works. The first Operaio, Conetto, brought back from the squarries of the Isle of Elba and of Sardinia eight columns and four pilasters for the bearing structure of the building, erected “with great triumph” in 1163. In these very years, the construction of the walls of the whole city, until then without any, started in the area next to the square<\/a>.
\nWork was then suspended for a long time, beginning once more in the mid 1300s, when the women\u2019s gallery was completed and the baptistery roofed over. At the bottom, the outside of this circular building presents a row of round dead arches, broken by slit windows and four doors and supported by pillars against the walls. Above these is a gallery of arched columns with ornately carved pediments. Empty spaces in this gallery are due to some statues being transferred to the nearby\u00a0Opera del Duomo Museum<\/a>. These arches are decorated with human heads carved by Nicola Pisano and his workshop, in and after 1265.
\nAbove, rises the dome, skirted by a row of triangular fronted marble aedicules completed with a pair of pinnacles. At the top is a statue in gilded copper of St. John the Baptist, made by Turino di Sano da Siena in 1395.\u00a0The door facing the Cathedral was decorated in about 1203-1204 by sculptors of Greek-Byzantine culture; the cycle is flanked by two columns carved in spirals of foliage.
